This second edition of Jesus and the Gospels prepares readers for an intensive study of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the events they narrate.

The original 1997 book won a Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and this updated version, factoring in new scholarship, debate, critical methods, and the ongoing quest of the historical Jesus, ensures the work will remain a top tool for exploring the life of Christ through the first four books of the New Testament.

"There is no more important subject than Jesus and the Gospels and no
obvious rival to Blombergs book for those wanting an introduction to
the subject, which is wide-ranging and up-to-date, scholarly and
accessible, conservative and intelligent."
The Reverend Dr. David Wenham

"Nothing of significance that has appeared in the last dozen years seems
to have been missed by Craig Blomberg and his assistants in this careful
updating of his well-received survey text on the Gospels and Jesus
in order to fit it for a fresh generation of students. This is a rich resource
from which even the seasoned scholar can pick up valuable material." Professor I. Howard Marshall, Honorary Research Professor of
New Testament, University of Aberdeen
